NOV.25
By Joe S
The week's weather was high-
lighted by a rapid temperature
change and the frequent passage
of low pressure systems. Distur-
bances resulted in overcast ski es
and precipation. The low pressure
systems formed east of the
Rockies as cool Pacific air was
dried by its forced rise over the
mountain ranges of Western
America. This cool Pacific air
encountered warmer, moister air
flooding up. from the Gulf of
Mexico forming the disturbances.
They produced our first snowfalls
of the season; however, accumu-
lation was slight. Temperatures
changed very little during the
week, remaining near freezing
through Friday. A change in the,
weather pattern occurred on the
weekend.
High winds, unseasonably mild
temperature and rain spread into
the region. The rain and mild
Record high temperatures were
reached in numerous localities
across Southern Ontario.
Our region reached 15 degrees
celcius. The warm spell was of
short duration. Cold Arctic air
surged into Southern Ontario late
Sunday. The cold air plunged
temperatures to below freezing
on. Monday.
Snowflurries were reported
throughout the area as the colder
air moved over the previously
warmed ground surface. The -
extended outlook indicates temp-
eratures to be slightly below
normal with a moderating trend
by the weekend. Light snowfall
accumulations are expected dur-
ing the week. Rain is likely by the
At Gay Lea Foods. Co-operative

,President Mel Proud said that
Gay Lea Foods. Co-operative is an
indication of what producers can
accomplish by joining together to
process and market their produce
on a co-operative basis. He stated
sales had increased nearly 40%
over the previous year and
attributed the increase to greater
volume through the
co-operative's plants as well as
inflated dollars.
Part of the increased volume
had come from the two
acquisitions - Agra Foods,
Weston and CF Capital Foods,
Strathroy. These acquisitions
gave the co-operative diversifi-
cation into edible oil products and
further penetration of its
traditional markets. Mr. Proud'
commented that producer interest
continued at a high level and that
membership had increased to 3,6
33 member shareholders.
T.E.Brady, Executive Vice-
President and General Manager,
announced an increase in sales
from $52 million to $72 million
and net earnings of $1 million
compared with $854,000 in 1974.
Financing of the two acquisitioris
and the increased volume had
been arranged by increasing long
term debt and increased equity
capital.
Out of earnings the Board of
Directors had declared a share
dividend of Eighty Cents per
common share.Mr. Brady said
that investment in Gay Lea shares
had a very good yield when both
the dividend and market
appreciation were considered.
